Sagging and loose skin around your neck can affect your facial definition and make you look older than you feel. Yes. Turkey neck is real, and covering it up with a scarf or stole won’t solve the problem permanently. Fortunately, advancements in medical science and technology in Bahrain have made it possible to restore smoother and firmer skin around the neck. Learning more about turkey neck treatment in Bahrain, why it happens, and how to fix it can help you make a more informed decision regarding the better treatment option for your condition.

What is Turkey Neck?

Although not a term in medical parlance, turkey neck is often used to describe loose, sagging skin that develops on the neck and under the chin. It gets its unusual name from the wattle or hanging skin beneath the chin of the turkey, a ground-dwelling bird.

What Causes Turkey Neck?

To pinpoint a single cause for loose and sagging skin around the neck is like saying one wrinkle tells the whole story of ageing. Several reasons contribute to the development of turkey neck over time.

• Ageing: As you grow older, your body produces less collagen, the protein responsible for skin elasticity and structure. The loss of collagen causes the skin around the neck to droop and sag.
• Genetics: Another reason for turkey neck could be an inherited bone structure that could cause more fat or tissue to collect around the neck.
• Weight: Weight gain can cause excess fat to deposit around the neck, changing the appearance of your neck, chin, and facial structure.
• Muscle Laxity: Neck muscles may weaken over time, causing a change in your appearance.
• Lifestyle Factors: Poor nutrition, smoking, or prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays can affect the skin, leading to conditions such as turkey neck.

Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments for Turkey Neck in Bahrain

Dermatologists in Bahrain may suggest surgical or non-surgical procedures to treat or minimize the appearance of loose skin around the neck. Stanford Medical Center, a leading skin and aesthetic clinic in Bahrain, offers safe and advanced treatment options for patients seeking effective turkey neck correction procedures.

Non-Surgical Procedures for Turkey Neck

Botox Injections

As you age, the neck muscles may weaken and become tight and enlarged, resulting in sagging skin. Your doctor may suggest Botox injections to reduce the appearance of drooping skin around the neck. Botox is a medically administered drug that blocks nerve signals to certain muscles, thereby relaxing tight muscles and smoothing the front of the neck.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

This non-surgical procedure uses targeted heat and light energy to destroy damaged skin cells. It triggers the body’s natural healing response by stimulating the production of collagen for firmer skin.

Microneedling

Through microneedling, tiny needles are used around the neck to trigger the body’s response to healing or repairing itself.

Thread Lifts

Our experienced dermatologists may also suggest thread lifts depending on your condition and extent of loose neck skin. We place temporary, medically-approved threads under the skin to pull, lift and smoothen loose skin.

Anti-Ageing Skin Care Routine

For a mild turkey neck condition, your doctor may also suggest an anti-ageing skin care routine, such as applying creams, lotions and topical solutions to help minimize collagen loss. Additionally, you may be advised to follow an exercise routine that helps to strengthen neck muscles to help improve your neck’s appearance.

Surgical Procedures for Turkey Neck Correction in Bahrain

While your dermatologist may suggest non-surgical procedures for mild to moderate turkey neck correction, a severe condition may require surgery to ensure more permanent and evident results.

Neck Lift

At our medical center, our experienced dermatologists and plastic surgeons perform safe neck lift surgeries to ensure smooth and tighter skin around the neck.

Also known as a lower rhytidectomy, a neck lift is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat and skin from the neck and jawline area and also includes the tightening or realignment of neck muscles.

Liposuction

For patients with good skin elasticity, doctors may also suggest liposuction. Through liposuction, a small incision is made, through which a thin cannula is passed to suction out stubborn fat cells. Your plastic surgeon may suggest liposuction in combination with a neck lift for desired results.

Surgical or Non-Surgical Procedures for Turkey Neck Correction- Which One Should You Choose?

Deciding between a surgical or non-surgical procedure to correct turkey neck depends on several factors including, severity of the condition, underlying medical conditions, budget, and desired outcome. Your doctor will assess your condition and determine the best possible procedure. You may be advised a combination of methods for more favorable clinical results.
